it's sporadic nor sparatic..

I checked this service out, and it works pretty good. Resolution is ok, but not great. I tried NBC and I got an error message, then I tried ABC and connected just fine. There is about a 16 second delay from the actual broadcast. I think that this service will be great if they add more channels, and improve resolutions. I did not notice any pauzing, freezing or hiccups whatsoever.

I wish it made use of the full screen. Hardly worth watching when the size of a quarter.

I love that it keeps saying not iPhone compatible *snickers*

Does this work over Wifi?

Edit: NVM it does, I didn't realize it was just a browser application... I noticed a few hiccups where it had to buffer

My Verizon Overlords but I can't even get on the site. I keep getting an HTTP error 504: Gateway Timeout message. R.I.P. vulvision. Alas, we didn't get to know you very well. Lol. I'll also note that there seems to be no info on this anywhere on "The Google".

This makes me proud in being a blackberry owner.

networks will probably crush this website with their legal department. oh wait, i think it's already happened because i can't get any of the stations to stream.

This has tons of potential. The quality is actually pretty good on my storm which runs in full screen.

When I click on a channel all I get is the message "The media being played is of an unsupported format." I'm using a 8330.

This will be great if I can watch the Ohio State Game this weekend.

it appears we have flooded their servers... they claim over 100k hits... hopefully this is motivation for this company to really strive hard for excellency... I'd pay a few bucks a month for this...

It will only show about a 20 second clip and keeps replaying the same clip over and over on my Curve 8330. Still needs some work it seems.

I realize this is just getting started, but when I tried it, all the links came up with errors on my Storm. Maybe this will be fixed as the site grows. Great idea though! I wish Sling Media would finally make a mobile version for the Storm!!!

Wow. 100k hits today. Must be all us people who refuse to pop for a SlingBox. They claim they are adding more servers. I have visions of the guys who started it waiting in line at some PC Depot with carts overflowing with 'em.

Keeps telling me my email is invalid which is BS.

Damn too bad it's down already.. this wouldve been great for lunch break

After finally getting onto the site I had it reject as invalid every email address I put into it until I used my old AOL email address. For a site that supposedly only wants our email address to notify of updates it's mighty picky about what email addresses it'll take.

You crashed our servers.
Please come back in two hours and try again.

(and this time... not all at once)

this was the message I just got!!!

It says congrats to Crackberry.com, we crashed there servers. Oops!

This shows how on-top of all the new tech we all are.....crashed the servers. NEXT TIME REALIZE THE FORCE YOU ARE DEALING WITH! LONG LIVE CRACKBERRY!

:-)

Like the website says "Congrats Crackberry.com you have crashed our servers" That is awesome!!!!

I can't help but giggle when I see the site say "We crashed, thanks crackberry.com"

I get the same invalid email.... Oh well...will try again, but I don't think you need to enter an email, only if you want to be notified of iPhone avaialability

Congrats to CrackBerry.com!
You crashed our servers.
Our limited service has crashed.
Please check back later.

Damn we are good! If you want to do any server load tests just get CB to blog about your service and the load will come. ;)

In the long run this is actually quite good for them, they can optimize their servers and get them up to speed before the beta launch with our help.

We have GOT to get them to do a launch contest, give away a ton of free subscriptions (limited time of course, say 6 months or 1 year), and maybe some other prizes (grand prize, BB of your choice on them????)

I can't believe they put that on their website!! A simple "Server Crashed" message would have sufficed - no need to thank us :-)

thats funny stuff

Congrats to CrackBerry.com!
You crashed our servers.
Our limited service has crashed.
Please check back later.
This is an alpha site and you should
expect that service will be spotty
until we enter beta testing which is
schedule to start November 1st.

cant wait for this to be back up!!!!

id like to try this but CB overloaded the servers!! Shows our power.....

tried the site today and its still saying that its down:(
i wonder how long bofore its back up and running again cause that will be an awesome site..

I still cant get on with my VZW Tour 9630. says "invalid e-mail" and screen stays white....ill wait awhile till calma down..

wow... and they think they will be back up in november to handle the traffic again?

by then, all the top blackberry blog sites plus just about every other blackberry blogsite will have a link to their site.

And then there are all of the sites within the Smartphone Experts Network that will be linking to those as well as every other smartphone site + all the iphone sites blogging "well there is this real time broadcast website at LINK but we cant watch them!" etc etc etc.

Also, im sure there will be a few other techie sites blogging about this new "idea."

and just think, in their alpha stage, one website, ranked at 1,874 (according to alexa.com)brought down their site!

i sure hope it doesnt show up on yahoo's main page.

oh and on behalf of crackberry.com and crackberriers, YOUR WELCOME!!!!!!

That has to be one of the funniest messages I have ever seen!!! Kudos to the company for keeping a sense of humor about it.

I Just tried it, and it still says it is crashed. it also lists abc, nbc, cbs as not broadcasting.

Wow this is simply awesome,may be spotty but its better than nothing...

Got connected to main page OK. NO NEED FOR E-MAIL ADDRESS that is only to be notified when iPhone compatible.

Main page says they have shut down for the night. I accessed it via Opera Mini 5 and was hoping to connect at least long enough to see if it is OM5 compatible.

Congrats to all you Crackberry-heads that managed to crash the site ... LOL. I love this place.

Has anybody been able to get their local stations. I was watching the NBC station they provide and it was a feed from N.Y. and I live on So. Cal. The feed actually looks pretty descent, it looks just as good as the feed from the actual NBC website, back when it was working on the storm.

Yeah lol, I was able to see some of the live feed between their system crashes , by the time I was on their site the only channels to choose from was ABC or NBC both worked , sometimes got errors , . Try later and might get an error or two or booted out before connected but figured that much from reading their messages lol but did connect. Funny thing was when the came back online after their first crash they had the messaged posted thanking crackberry.com for the overload , but also said was on a "limited service" with only the 2 channels turned on.Wasn't long they was down again :p

has anyone else seen the news about vuivisions pending lawsuit? I read about it on bloombert. Here is the article I found:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=conewsstory&tkr=CERT%3AUS&sid=aEU...

I want tv on my blackberry and can't get it from my local wireless company but I don't want to support anything that is not legal.

Please post your thoughts on this.

only five channels, which ive never heard about, except for Catholic tv. . . i dont see nbc or anything
